Oh, I never made any claims about the quality of the resulting
postscript.  In fact, in some situations, there's about a 3-line PCL
header that gets written to the top of the file, and you have to go edit
that out before gs can deal with the resulting file.  The whole thing's
a bit of a pain, but it's the best thing I've found.
